Do you dress for comfort on more days than you’d care to admit? When you’re juggling work, education, kids, housework and everything else it’s easily done. Maybe you’ve gained a few pounds and are insecure about your body, so you throw on your comfy clothes, because what’s the point making an effort- right? While there’s nothing wrong with dressing for comfort sometimes, when your tracksuit bottoms and slouchy jumpers have become like some kind of daily uniform it probably doesn’t leave you feeling great. If you’re in a bit of a rut with your appearance and are fed up with looking frumpy and undone, here are a few easy ways you can get your sexy back.
Focus on Health
When you focus on health, you prove to yourself that you matter. It’s so easy to put everyone else first, especially when you have a family to look after. But you need to make time for you too, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Focus on eating well and doing some exercise, not only will you feel better mentally but you will look better too. If you want a boost a the beginning, a detox tea like Skinnytea can help you shed some pounds and reduce bloating, and put you on a good path for the rest of your diet plan. Clothes will start fitting better, and it will give you the confidence you need to push out of your comfort zone. Whether your need to lose weight, put some on or just tone up, focus on health first and the aesthetics will follow.
Visit The Hairdresser
Have you been wearing your hair the same way for years? Maybe you don’t do anything to it other than shove it back in a ponytail. Your hair should be your crowning glory, you don’t need to walk around with a full blowout every day, but it should be a flattering color and cut. You should be able to style it nicely when you do have the time and energy! What suits you now is likely to be a lot different to what suited you ten or more years ago. Extreme colors and lengths can look unflattering as we age. If it’s been a while since you changed your hair, a professional will be able to advise you.
Choose Some New Clothes
There’s nothing wrong with running errands in your comfy clothes, but picking something slightly more flattering will make you feel so much better. Instead of sweatpants and trainers, how about a pair of leggings with a jersey skater dress and ballet flats? A comfy cardigan over the top gives you a cute outfit which is still super comfortable and is the kind of thing that would suit any figure.
Go To The Spa or Salon
Facials, manicures, pedicures, waxing- these are all the kinds of treatments that really help you to make the most of your looks. While you can do these at home, it’s nice to treat yourself to the spa or salon every now and again, and regular visits might encourage you to keep up the maintenance too.
Practice With Makeup
These days you can buy incredible makeup from drugstores without spending much at all. You certainly don’t need to invest in high-end brands if you don’t want to. A touch of foundation to even out your skin, some blush or bronzer to warm up your complexion and some mascara to make your eyes look bigger and more awake is all you need day to day. It takes five minutes and leaves you feeling far more attractive and put together.
